Illogical Punctuation.

Coming back to the question of
punctuation, I, for one, would be
pleased to see the old custom of placing
full point or any point after alb
breviated words, and Roman capitals
in certain cases given up, once and for
alway. What is the logic of it? Any
body who knows anything knows that
Messrs, Co, Esq, Eng, Bros, ETC., are
Authorizations just as we'll as he knows
two and two make four. It may lend
dignity to Latin inscription or serve
as ornament to an epitaph, OF what not,
printed or carved in severity of style;
but in good, plain, everyday type art,
it is about as logical as it would be to
sing our psalms with nasal twang be-
cause our daddies did. N. B.-I put a
full point after the contraction of my
name Philos into Phil, for the simple
reason that if didn't the compositor
would, and don't want him to think
I'm not man of the period.
We often make merry over the En-
glish fashion of sticking comma
after q street number, this way: 100,
Fulton street, but it is quite as logical
as setting one, as we often do, after a
mans name when his residence or
birthplace is connected with it by the
proposition of, as for example, "John
Doe, of New York" Nobody thinks
of setting comma after Gutenberg's
name in that way. We write "John
Gutenberg of Mentz;" and the con-

A Tramp Who Paid His Board.

"Do you know it is funny thing,
but we have entertained many an
angel unawares in this way. Not a
great while ago very impressive.look-
ing man come to the desk, and, saying
he was in hard luck and perfect
stranger in the city, asked us to give
him his breakfast. He said he had Just
landed from Australia and was await
ing remittance from England. Well,
we took no stock in that part of his
story, but he got his breakfast all the
same and was most profuse in his
thanks. It must have been nearly q
month before we saw him again. Then
he entered the hotel very modestly,
recognized the clerk who had be-
friended him, and asked for suite of
rooms on the parlor floor. At the same
time he asked the clerk to take care of
about e2, 900, mostly in English money.
It turned out that he was the young
son of an English lord, who had been
trotting around the globe, and had
simply missed connections when he
reached New York. He was with us
for three months, and before he left
had knocked a large hole in that 92, 900.

Wedding.ring Romances.

In speaking Of wedding rings we
learn that these important symbols
have not always been manufactured
from the precious metal, gold. We are
told that in lieu of a ring the church
key has often been used; and Walpole
tells of an instance where q curtain
ring was employed. The Duke Of Ham
ilton fell SO violently in love with the
younger Of the celebrated Misses Cum
ming at party in Lord Chesterfeld's
house that two days after he sent for o
parson to perform the marriage cere-
mony, but as the Duke had neither Ii
cense or ring the clergyman refused to
act. Nothing daunted, Hamilton de-
clared "he would send for the arch
bishop" At last they were married
with ring of the bed curtain, at 1890
at night. at Mayfair Chapel Forget
full bridegrooms have been reduced to
greater straits than this even; in one
instance leather ring had, on the spur
of the moment, to be cut out OF piece
Of kid from the BRIDES glove. A tragic
story of a forgotten wedding-ring is
told in the olives Of the Lindsays."
When he should have been at church,
Colin Lindsay, the young Earl Of Bal
cares, was quietly eating his breakfast
in night-gown and slippers; when re-
minded that Mauritia of Nassau was
waiting for him at the altar, he hurried
to church, but forgot the ring; friend
present gave him one, which he, with
out looking at, placed on the brides
finger. After the ceremony was over
the Countess glanced at her hand and
beheld griRning deaths head on her
ring. She tainted away, and the omen
made such an impression on her that,
on recovering, she declared that she
was destined to die within a year; a
presentiment that probably brought
its own fulfllment, for in a few months
the careless Colin was widower.-

JUDGE COOLEY is reported as saying
in reply to an inquiry why the Inter-
state Commission apparently had &C.
complished SO little in the way of re-
dressing grievances against the railroad
companies, that "the Commission is
laboring under difficulties of which the
public is ignorant. The Commission
had done all in its power to correct ex-
isting evils, and if it did not succeed in
giving entire satisfaction it was simply
due to the fact that the law was not
clear on many of the points raised.
Hasty action on some of the questions
might have resulted in much greater
dissatisfaction than that caused by the
slow and careful consideration given to
those subjects. Many Of the cases
brought against the railroads by ship
pers were not presented in such shape
as to give the Commission an oppor-
tunity to act intelligently. Many Of
the abuses in railroad management
and alleged violations of the law, which
were continually being ventilated in
the newspapers, were not brought to
the attention of the Commission by the
proper parties, and the Commission
could not possibly be expected to take
action unless proper charges were pre-
ferred and substantiated."

The Duke Of St. Adams receives
EGO per year as master of the hawks.
1zoo Tor four falconers, 5000 for pro.
VISION OF hawks, and e1S2 los for
pigeons, hens, and other meats. The
once was given by James IL in 1864,
10 the ancestors Of the Duke, and the
family has kept it ever since. The
Marquis OF Downshire fills the post,
TO which active duties we're no doubt
formerly attached, of Constable of the
r. Fort OF Hillsborough, County Down.
Inc salary of the Constable is mere
tribe, 3s Id per diem, but he also re-
celyes an allowance of e1s2 los per
annum in order to provide the ample
number of twenty wardens at Cd per
diem each.

A RESIDENT of Plymouth protects Ms
grapevines from thieves in q novel
manner. The supports are of wood,
but the cross-pieces are of wires in
sulated from the ground and connected
with an induction coil capable of de-
llvering heavy spark through an inch
OF air. The other pole of the coil is
connected with the ground. Six good
sized bichromate of potash cells fur
nish electro-motive force for the coil.
Short wires hanging among the vines
are secured to the large wires, and
when anyone monkeys" with the
grapevine while the battery is con-
nected the neighborhood is apt to hear
from him. 1t works every time, and
no one comes for second dose.

MORE than one hundred children sat
during thunderstorm in room of
Green's Academy. at Albany, Ga. The
sliding doors leading to another room
were open. Suddenly IN immense ball
of fire appeared in the neighboring
room, tore the window sashes from
their frames, and threw the weights
and splinters all about, yet not child
was injured.

WHEN Richard X. Fox, owner of the
Police Gazette, introduced himself and
then his wife to the Prince of Wales,
says London correspondent, there
was an interesting scene. Richard and
his better half had been around through
the grove looking at royalty taking its
annual picnic under the beautiful trees.
1t was at Goodwood on cup day, the
next greatest racing event to the
Derby, and England, as seen there, was
at it's best. Half the aristocracy of the
kingdom seemed to be gathered in and
about the race course. They were
taking their lunch on the greensward
in true rural style. The Prince of
Wales had finished his repast and
walked up to the railing, glass in hand,
to take look at the horses just coming
out of the most important race of the
meeting. He had taken a good look
and dropped his glasses by his side
when tho American sporting man
stepped up, tapped the future king on
the shoulder, and said: II am an
American and would like to shake
hands with you" The Prince took in
the situation, held out his hand and
said: II hope you are enjoying your
visit to this country" Fox replied
that he was pleased with the United
Kingdom, and presented his wife.
Tho Prince, always gallant, shock
hands with the lady and said: II hope
YOU are enjoying the pleasures of the
day." It was singular episode and a
striking illustration of the nerve which
some citizens of the United States
carry with Them. The Prince took it in
exceedingly good humor, and thought
rather enjoyed the diversion, for he is
thoroughly selts-possessed man, and
rather inclined to be liberal in his acts
and ideas.

AT Monticello, N. Y, few days ago,
a contest between black snake five
feet long and water moccasin eighteen
inches long was witnessed by sew
eral people. The moccasin had the bat
tie all its own way. It coiled itself so
tightly around the neck of it's opponent
that ridges half an inch deep were inn
bodied in the flesh. The black snake
was choked to death.

The Ohio and Mississippi construction
hands atwork on dump at Casyville,
Ind, dug into an ancient burying
ground. Some of the bodies were
found at depth of ten feet, buried in
line walnut collins. The circumstances
point to the fact that the bodies be-
longed to q civilized race, but the old
est residents seem to have no knowl-
edge of there ever having been bury
ing ground at that point. and its his
tory probably dates back to the time
OF the French settlements.

A TwELvE-poUND can .on-shot was
found imbedded seventeen inches deep
in an oak tree in the suburbs of Frank

Federal cannon during the bloody
battle twenty-three years ago, as it
entered the tree on the side next to
the town. The fibers of oak are still
attached to the ball and are nearly
as hard as the iron itself,

we're seven published in the English
language in Philadelphia alone, of

there were more newspapers in 1887
than in 1887.
